very nice, i like buildings that taper in the middle. and doha seems to have a trend of that appearing

I have a hard time believing it is 200 meters

There are some beautiful buildings going up in Doha. They can rival many other buildings world wide. I love this one.

IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD

The building has a fantastic figure, I like it, but I have a question, is the Tornado building part of this project?, I wrote because in one the pictures, I read The Tornado.

amazing design!!

Apparently, this tower is called the Tornado, because of its resemblence. But, Al-Bidda Tower is from I recall was also called Tornado Tower because of its twisting. Well, maybe both of them :)

excellent project!!!

That's a very original skyscraper :eek:

fancy industrial tower outlet. Not good

Not good?

fancy industrial tower outlet. Not good

why?

doha likes these designs

a bit different from the other one near aspire

interesting tower...

Doha Sports City tower is better, a bit more imaginative.

Looks interesting

Skyrocketing! The contractor is the same as for the Aspire Tower. The JV has completed 2 towers (the Qipco and Sports City) in the same time as the Al Bidda Tower. This thing is just not moving ...

I am not sure how you see this tower as fat since it looks like a depressurized coke can! hehe thin and funnel shapped

Cladding is now almost complete
